1. SurvJustice has never sought or relied upon government funding in order to sustainably grow our organization and fund our services; such independence from the government has also helped us maintain political independence so we could be uncompromised for the rights of survivors rather than aligned with a political party; and

2. SurvJustice helped pass Section 304 of the 2013 Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act to protect the rights of campus sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking victims within federal statute to avoid over-reliance on Title IX guidance, which does not enjoy the force of law and thus could be repealed or go unenforced in a new administration.

Given our strategy to withstand the test of a changed political climate, our staff of civil rights and victim rights attorneys will be here to continue passionately and effectively enforcing victim rights and holding both perpetrators and enablers of sexual violence accountable.
